An analog of Wald's identity for random walks with infinite mean
D. A. Korshunov Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Abstract:
We deduce an analog of the classical Wald's identity $\mathbf ES_\tau=\mathbf E\tau\mathbf E\xi$ in the case of the infinite mean of summands. We find the conditions on $\tau$ under which $\mathbf E\min(S_\tau,x)\sim\mathbf E\tau\mathbf E\min(\xi,x)$ as $x\to\infty$.
Keywords:
sums of random variables, stopping time, independence on the future, Wald's identity.
